Question about SEC ballparks

I'm currently working on calculating park factors for SEC ballparks, but I need some help with information.
-Has your home field seen any modifications to the playing dimensions over the last 5 years?
-What were the modifications? (OF wall height/distance, foul territory change, new stadium, etc)
-When did it change?
Any information helps. The math is going to be a pain the arse. I'm just trying to avoid some extra research. Thanks in advance.

Yes, Baum had it's right center field alley wall moved in from 375 to 365 last season.

No dimension change but we lowered our RF wall because we moved the visiting bullpen there.

Cliff Hagan Stadium - University of Kentucky
-Has your home field seen any modifications to the playing dimensions over the last 5 years?
Well, close - 2007
-What were the modifications? (OF wall height/distance, foul territory change, new stadium, etc)
1. new state-of-the-art video board.
2. 150 seat deck in the parking lot behind right field.
3. The outfield fence was lowered and padded to give fans a clear view of the diamond from anywhere in the outfield parking lot.

Alabama's stadium is going to be blown up tonight, so the dimensions will change. All I'm gonna say is, it wasn't me...

We moved in left field by about 10-15 feet this off-season.

Not related to dimensions, but Alabama's Sewell - Thomas Stadium changed from Kentucky bluegrass to plain rye grass for deer grazing purposes. Apparently the baseball team has been taking advantage of deer antler spray. Looking forward to Omaha

Lindsey Nelson Stadium was built in '93 rennovations were completed in 2010. They included:
- $400,000 improvements to the field and first base line.
- A new team locker room, club area, weight room, and training room,
- new coach and administrative offices,
- a plaza above the right field line seating,
- addition of 370 MVP level seats behind home plate.
Future rennovations include:
- 16 luxury box suites,
- new press box tower,
- left field entrance plaza,
- expanded permenant seating on the left field side.
Overall anticipated cost of current and future rennovations = $16 Million...and you wonder how UT accumulated $200 Million in debt.

Olsen Field had a significant reduction in foul territory as part of the recent renovation. 2012 was the first year of the reduced foul territory. Outfield dimensions have not changed since the park opened in 1978.

Thanks for the help so far. Bumping for a few more responses.

LSU moved into the new Alex Box in 2009. The dimensions didn't change from the old park though.

Florida's outfield wall is on rollers. They move it in when they bat and move it out when the other team is at bat.

A new hockey rink would look great where Sewell-Thomas currently is.
